Wrong.

Am-utils, while being a quite complex piece of software, does fullfil
the task of "autofs". It does need extra configuration compared to
Linux's autofs though. For the record, I automount my cdr, cdrom, zip
and floppy drives (both in ufs and msdos mode) using this configuration
files:
---8<--- Cut here [amd.mnt] -----8<--------
cdr type:=cdfs;fs:=/cdr;dev:=/dev/cd0c;opts:=ro,nodev,nosuid
cdrom type:=cdfs;fs:=/cdrom;dev:=/dev/acd0c;opts:=ro,nodev,nosuid
fat type:=pcfs;fs:=/fat;dev:=/dev/fd0;opts:=nosuid,nodev
flp type:=ufs;fs:=/flp;dev:=/dev/fd0;opts:=nosuid,nodev
zip type:=ufs;fs:=/zip;dev:=/dev/afd0;opts:=nosuid,nodev
zap type:=pcfs;fs:=/zap;dev:=/dev/afd0s4;opts:=nosuid,nodev

I think I will dare opening a pr making this default config files. :)

I am not sure I completely understand that, but you must expect having
to reconfigure stuff to accomodate new software... I guess you want to
port autofs to fbsd, eh? :)
